On February 10, Out of Exile editor Craig Walzer and Voice of Witness series editor Dave Eggers will be speaking at an event co-hosted by the ENOUGH project at the Center for American Progress. They will be joined by Out of Exile narrator Abuk, Wunlang School founder Franco Majok, and ENOUGH co-chair John Prendergast, who has said of the book,
“This collection of powerful, moving stories amplifies the voices of the Sudanese people with a sensitivity and deference that puts them at the center of the narrative, where they belong, rather than as statistics or scene setters.”
With an introduction and additional interviews by Valentino Achak Deng and Dave Eggers, these narratives were compiled by Walzer during his extensive travels through Kenya, Sudan and Egypt. He will be touring with the book again in May. If you would like to organize an Out of Exile event in your area, please contact mimi_dot_lok_at_voiceofwitness_dot_com or angela_at_mcsweeneys_dot_net
